Brew Hui Podcast, Episode 4: Søren Eriksen, 8 Wired

The stars of Episode 4 of the Brew Hui podcast – Søren Eriksen and the 8 Wired team –really need bugger-all in the way of introduction: formerly Supreme Champion Brewery of New Zealand, now operating from their own brewery in sunny Warkworth, north of Auckland. (Conveniently placed, as it is, 4 minutes from my own new house.) I had the immense pleasure of spending two days with Søren and his team last week – recording some 10 hours of delicious audio (which, you’ll be pleased to learn, I’ve edited down to the usual ~90 minutes!).

To grab yourself a pint of the Sour IPA Palate Trip, make sure you grab a ticket to one of the GABS festivals – either in Melbourne (this weekend!), Brisbane (27th-28th May) or Auckland (18th June). Head to www.gabsfestival.com for details on grabbing tickets, etc. Also, look out for the GABS six-packs, which will contain bottles of Palate Trip…c‘est magnifique!

As usual, the intro- and outro-music is from a track called ‘Red Pepper‘ by the fabulous (and presently-defunct) Wellington band Harbour City Electric. Head along to their Bandcamp site to grab their EP and full album – you can even name your price!

My sincere thanks to Søren, Russell and the rest of the first-class team at 8 Wired. Also many thanks, as usual, to Harbour City Electric for their dulcet tones.
